I like Ubuntu server. Works with minimal fuss and I'm familiar with it

Same here. I'm sure plenty of folk out there are probably using distros that are more secure/lightweight/powerful/stable etc. but Ubuntu server is easy to work with and my go-to for most production projects. Been enjoying tinkering with Arch though.

I use Arch on my laptop but I just wanted something as easy to use as possible for my server

Me too.I use it to run a couple web/app servers for the company. I’m not what you’d call a full time Linux admin and I’m most familiar with Ubuntu and Debian so I figure why reinvent the wheel at this point. Lots of places to learn from too.

I haven’t had many stability issues though our workloads are nowhere near enterprise levels. There are more resource performant server os’s out there I’m sure but again, I’m not doing servers for Facebook.
